TODD RUNDGREN

"RUNT" 1970 US ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING MAROON & TAN LABEL ATLANTIC SD-8216

HERE IT IS, FANS. THE LEGENDARY MIS-PRESSED AMPEX LP WITH 2 UNCREDITED TRACKS! THE FACT IS, THIS MISPRESSING HAPPENED ON THE SECOND PRESSING, NOT THE FIRST!  IN FACT, THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THIS MIS-PRESSED VERSION AND THE STANDARD VERSION YOU ARE ACCUSTOMED TO. NOT ONLY 2 EXTRA TRACKS, BUT NUMEROUS ALTERNATE MIXES, DIFFERENT GUITAR PARTS, ETC ETC. ( * ) !  READ ON:

Runt is the self-titled debut of the band Runt, first released in 1970 on Ampex. Many regard the album as Todd's debut solo album, as all later reissues (including the 1990 CD reissue)  credit the album to Todd Rundgren rather than to Runt. At the initial time of release, however, "Runt" was identified as a trio consisting of Rundgren (guitars, keyboards, vocals), Hunt Sales (drums) and Tony Sales (bass). The entire album was written, produced and sung by Rundgren, who also played all of the instruments other than bass and drums.

Initially dividing critics upon its release, the record runs the gamut from blues-styled guitar workouts (Birthday Carol, Broke Down and Busted), power pop (Devil's Bite, Don't Tie My Hands), Laura-Nyro-styled piano pop (We Gotta Get You a Woman, Baby Let's Swing, The Last Thing You Said), rock n' roll (Who's that Man), piano ballads (Believe in Me, Once Burned, the middle section of Birthday Carol) as well as more experimental numbers (the sarcastic, prog-rock tinged I'm in the Clique, There Are No Words).

Upon its release in June 1970 the album was issued with 10 tracks. After We Gotta Get You a Woman became a hit single, Ampex decided to press more copies of the LP in November 1970 to keep up with demand. A rejected 12 track master of the LP was accidentally sent to the pressing plant resulting in approximately 5,000 mis-presses. Instead of throwing out the LPs, Ampex decided to sell them anyway, unmarked, as a sort of surprise to the purchaser.

AND NOW YOU KNOW - THE REST OF THE STORY!  (WELL, NO YOU DON'T - BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE TRACK-BY-TRACK DETAILS)

CONDITION DETAILS:

• BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS SOME SORT OF MOISTURE DAMAGE BUT THIS IS LIMITED TO THAT CORNER AND MOSTLY VISIBLE ON THE FRONT, OTHERWISE THE COVER HAS ONLY LIGHT SHELF WEAR
• THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE HAS PIX OF TODD, HUNT, TONY, JIM LOWE AND MISS CHRISTINE (GTO'S) 
• THERE IS A SMALL NAME IN PENCIL ON SIDE 2 LABEL WITH A COUPLE OF SPOTS WHERE SOMEONE STARTED TO ERASE IT BUT DECIDED AGAINST IT, MINOR
• OTHERWISE LABELS ARE NICE, PLAYING SURFACES ARE BRILLIANT
